Chapter 39

In a corner of the mall, the sounds of the Blood and Bone thugs talking and walking could be faintly heard outside, and just across the wall, Lin Bai was using a powder puff to touch up Lou Tiannan's makeup.

The cool fingertips occasionally brushed across Lou Tiannan's face, which was a little itchy and made Lou Tiannan feel a little uncomfortable.

He is still not sure about Lin Bai's identity, but he is sure that he has begun to trust Lin Bai.

What is this? Lou Tiannan couldn't grasp that feeling, but his mind couldn't help but think of Lin Bai telling him about her partner's appearance, and the sad expression on her face when she heard that her partner had died. She must love her partner very much.

"That's enough!" Lin Bai saw Lou Tiannan's increasingly strange expression, so he withdrew his hand and handed him a broken mirror. "Take a look, it's okay, isn't it?"

Lin Bai's makeup skills are indeed quite good. In the blink of an eye, Lou Tiannan's face changed from a gloomy and cold-faced man to an ordinary-looking young man. There was even a blood and bone mark on his neck, two red wavy lines.

Lou Tiannan put down the mirror and asked Lin Bai: "What about you?"

Lin Bai gave him a mysterious smile, then dragged out a sack he had found somewhere and stepped inside it. "Xi Ya and I will stay in here. You take us away."

Take us both away.

Lou Tiannan felt like he was crazy, and his heart skipped a beat when he heard these words.

Seeing that he didn't move, Lin Bai looked at him in confusion: "?"

"I understand." Lou Tiannan tied up the mouth of the sack containing Lin Bai and Xiya, and then carried the sack on his shoulder. There were some holes on the sack, which not only allowed for ventilation, but also allowed the "flesh and blood" part of Lin Bai to be revealed.

The bottom of the sack was dripping with specially mixed red blood. At first glance, it really looked like a person with blood and bones was packing up "food" to take back and offer to Qiu Tu.

Lou Tiannan carried a sack and found a time when there were fewer people around. He mixed in with the blood and bones team and left the mall with his body hunched and his head lowered.

The congregants of Aurora, near the South Third District, had received a message from the bishop. Upon learning that the man in the picture they had sent was Lou Tiannan, they paid even closer attention to the mall. Why was Lou Tiannan, a member of the federal army, bringing a woman and a child to the South Third District at this time? Could it be that, as the priests suspected, Lou Tiannan had also defected?

But they watched for a whole day and didn't see Lou Tiannan come out.

Confused, he went into the mall to search, but found that the three men were nowhere to be found. He didn't know when he had escaped!

After Zhou Yu and the other two blew up Moda City, they quickly hid themselves in a small compartment next to Moda City and had a secret fight with the people from Xue Gu.

The blood and bone transfer nest moved very quickly, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was extremely fast. Nearly a hundred psychics rushed in with their things, and Moda City was cleared out within an hour.

No one would believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes.

As the sky gradually darkened, Zhou Yu and Lou Tiannan reported their hiding place and waited patiently for Lou Tiannan to come.

When they saw a strange man carrying a sack in, the three of them immediately used their special powers to subdue the strange man, but he waved his hand and all the special powers they released turned into ashes under his black flames.

Seeing the familiar flame, the three were stunned.

"Captain Lou?" Song Yan looked him up and down in disbelief. "Why are you different from this morning..."

Seeing that there was no one behind him, Zhou Yu asked curiously, "Where are Lin Bai and Xi Ya?"

"What's in this sack?" Lu Jia looked at the bloodstains on it and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Lou Tiannan put down the sack and said, "It's Lin Bai and Xi Ya."

The three of them were even more shocked, and even a little surprised and sad: "Lin Bai she——"

"What happened..." Zhou Yu's voice was heavy.

Lou Tiannan looked at the three people suspiciously and opened the sack. "What are you thinking about?"

"We - uh ah - um -" Zhou Yu, who was speaking, saw the sack twisting. Just as he made a surprised sound, his mouth was covered by Lou Tiannan. He looked at Lin Bai who came out of the sack, his eyes as big as copper bells.

"I was scared to death. I was wondering how could something happen to Lin Bai, who is so powerful..." Song Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Bai and Xiya were safe and sound.

Knowing that it was to get rid of Aurora's surveillance, Zhou Yu said sincerely: "Lin Bai, you are really amazing. I didn't recognize Captain Lou at first glance."

At that time, Lin Bai was wiping the bloody marks on his legs and arms that she had deliberately drawn. Hearing this, without even looking up, he said, "You didn't recognize me and were so slow to react before attacking me. If it really is Qiu Tu, you're dead."

This sentence silenced the three of them, and no one spoke up to refute.

Because what Lin Bai said was right. After seeing those psychics of Xue Gu today, they realized that they had really underestimated Xue Gu.

"Do you know Qiu Tu?" Lou Tiannan asked. She was in West District 7 and Qiu Tu was in South District 3, but from what she said, it seemed that she knew Qiu Tu's strength very well.

"I saw him before the apocalypse, but after the apocalypse... I can't see him anymore." Lin Bai replied vaguely.

Had they seen him before the apocalypse? Where had they seen him before? Several people wondered.

But Xiya added in a low voice: "I've seen him on TV too. He's a big bad guy!"

Then they understood that Lin Bai and Xiya were mother and daughter. Xiya had seen her on TV, so Lin Bai was naturally the same.

Zhou Yu was about to speak when he saw Lou Tiannan's brows furrowed, and Lin Bai also made a gesture to keep quiet at the same time.

They lay down in the cracks between the bricks and saw someone coming into the empty building in Moda City.

It's from Hongsha.

They searched high and low and found that Moda City was truly deserted. "Those cowards like Xue Gu ran away so quickly!"

Just as they were trying to search again, a member of the Red Sand team who was searching another building ran away, shouting heartbreakingly, "Run! There's a bomb!"

They looked at each other and ran out of Moda City without looking back. At the same time, a deafening explosion sounded behind them, and Moda City exploded and collapsed in an instant.

The Red Sand members who did not have time to escape were buried under the brick rubble.

Moda City collapsed and exploded, and the six people in the small compartment were not spared. The moment they discovered the ceiling was falling, Zhou Yu and Lu Jiasheng used their supernatural powers to hold it up.

Lou Tiannan grabbed Xiya with one hand and Lin Bai with the other, protecting them both.

The moment Lin Bai was pulled over, she didn't understand how Lou Tiannan cultivated such a great spirit of selflessness, but she was too lazy to think about it. It was a good opportunity to recharge her energy.

The aftermath of the explosion lasted for a long time. Even though Zhou Yu's supernatural powers had increased a lot, the falling steel bars still deformed the iron plate created by Zhou Yu.

Looking at the bulging iron plate that was smashed, everyone was a little frightened.

Lou Tiannan condensed black flames in his palms and was ready to attack, but fortunately, the number of steel bars and bricks falling down gradually decreased, and the aftermath of the explosion gradually subsided.

"Lou Tiannan?" Elena's voice appeared on the intercom channel, "What happened over there?"

Lou Tiannan whispered, "Moda City exploded, where are you?"

"We're heading towards South District 3. For some unknown reason, many of the Blood Bone people have withdrawn from the Central and South Districts. Wen Xiaxia and I plan to take Zhu Liang to South District 1 first."

South District 1 is located between East District 1 and South District 3, and is indeed a relatively safe place to stay.

Lou Tiannan replied: "Sure, we'll go this way too, it'll take about two hours."

After agreeing on a location with Elena, Lou Tiannan and others came out of the collapsed ruins and rushed to the South District.

Behind them, the sound of bricks and iron plates clattered could be heard. It was the Red Sand members who had just been buried under the rubble. They stared at the direction Lou Tiannan had left and immediately relayed the news to Tang Mali from the Central and Southern District: "Boss Tang, Moda City has exploded, the blood bones have been transferred, and someone who looks like a blood bone is heading towards the Southern District."

Tang Mary, who was still searching in the Central and Southern District, paused. "The Moda City explosion? The blood and bones were transferred to the Southern District?"

Baichuan also stopped and frowned. This was not like Qiu Tu's style.

"Shall we go to the South District?" Baichuan asked.

Tang Mary refused decisively. She said firmly, "No, I will dig three feet deep to find Elena!"

Bai Chuan: "..."

Seeing that Tang Mary really didn't plan to leave, Bai Chuan said soberly: "Mr. Tang, you have been searching the Central and South District for a day and a night. Maybe the person has already escaped. You have to think about the reason why Elena came to the Central and South District in order to find her."

Tang Mary went to see Bai Chuan: "So, you know what Elena's purpose is?"

"Elena betrayed the Federation and cooperated with Xuegu. She came to the Central and South District, there is no way she came just to steal those broken stones of yours. Think about what Xuegu has been doing recently?"

"Burying a bomb near East District 1!" Tang Mary replied immediately, "But Xue Gu went to East District 1 for the zombie cores. Does Elena also need those cores?"

"There are more than just zombies in East District 1. Don't forget which department Elena had close ties with before the apocalypse."

"621 Pharmacopoeia Research Institute? I guess everyone in there is a bunch of idiots—" Tang Mali stopped mid-sentence, as if she remembered something. "You mean…"

Seeing her react, Bai Chuan added, "Three months ago, the Military Defense Team went to that place full of zombies. What were they going there for... were they also looking for zombie cores?"

Tang Mary looked at the Central and Southern District with some reluctance. The hesitation on her face was clearly seen by Bai Chuan. Bai Chuan raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm a little confused. What gem did Elena take from you that made you so obsessed with finding her?"

Tang Mali shrugged and said, "You know nothing! Let's go! Go to South District 1! Keep searching the Central and South Districts!"

…

The movements of Blood Bones and Red Sand were quickly grasped by the Aurora believers, who transmitted the information to the Aurora Church in real time.

A handsome blond young man sat on the snow-white bishop's chair. On the table in front of him was a picture printed out yesterday.

Cook said to him, "Bishop Clare, after the battle between Blood Bone and Red Sand, Blood Bone is currently retreating to South District 2, and Red Sand is heading towards South District 1. What should we do next?"

Claire didn't care much when she heard what Cook said: "Hasn't Lou Tiannan's whereabouts been found yet? Did Elena also arrive in the Central and South District? Has anyone seen them together?"

"According to Hongsha, Elena has confirmed that she has left East District 2 and was seen at Guangming Building yesterday. Lou Tiannan's whereabouts have not been found since the mall, and the two have not been seen together."

Upon hearing this, Claire said calmly, "Add more followers to the vicinity of East District 1. Report anyone who approaches East District 1."

"yes."

Cook responded and prepared to leave, but Claire stopped him and said, "Ask Caesar to come over."
